The epic of Jonah is timeless. Throughout history people from all walks of life have been drawn to this story, but we believe the message of Jonah is prefect fit our present moment. Jonah’s exaggerated expressions and larger than life swings in mood will resonate with you. Jonah’s association with religion yet spiritual and racial bigotry will sound all too familiar to you. Jonah’s journey to the depths and the display of the LORD’s grace will invite you under the waters — the place where many of us still need to go.
In chapter two, Jonah sinks "down, down, down" to the bottom of sea. The runaway prophet is as good as dead. He has reached the point of no return. But because God’s mercy is more, new life is possible for Jonah— and for us.
